Liverpool legend admits he couldn’t face playing against Reds
LA Galaxy star Steven Gerrard has revealed how Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign him over the summer.
The midfielder left the Premier League after ending his long-term association with Liverpool, but he has revealed how Spurs wanted to try and sign him to stop him from going to the MLS.
However, the Reds icon admitted that he couldn’t complete a move to White Hart Lane as he wouldn’t want to play against Liverpool.
Gerrard eventually ended up in America after agreeing a deal with LA Galaxy and he has revealed in his new book that a move to Spurs was discussed.
Spurs Interest
“A few English clubs called but I wouldn’t play against Liverpool.
“There was interest from Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. It was good to know he still rated me. I was sure I could play in the Premier League for another year but there would not have been much of a buzz doing the same thing all over again with Tottenham.”
The midfielder then revealed who else tried to sign him before he agreed a switch to America.
Offers Revealed
“The first offer came from Besiktas, then managed by Slaven Bilic.
Monaco were next. They came in strong.
Paris Saint-Germain were also very keen. David Moyes called my agent a couple of times, to see whether I would be interested in playing for him at Real Sociedad.”
